As we did on the second album, we wanted to break the templates we previously established and explore new territory. Paranoid inner-vacuum micro-dub and ruminative post-space hypno-drone? The album has more of a focus on vocals, with only one true instrumental this time out. While still shaded by darkness, we soaked in influence from Young Marble Giants, Disco Inferno, and latter day Hood, with electronic elements giving a little more lift to the songs, and members swapped instrumental duties around as the songs called for it.

The album was recorded by the band at home and at Studio 3431, and was mixed by Jay Pellicci (the Drift, Deerhoof, Death Cab for Cutie) at Tiny Telephone in San Francisco.
